I have this on a couple of my old MF lenses and had been wondering what it was. Now I know!

Cheers

I'm afraid the younger generation brought up on their phones are put off getting into photography 'properly' due to the price; they're not wanting to go for high spec dslrs at 700 plus. If anything even 400 to 500 is too much for most

I'd have to say yes

As a relative newcomer to this myself, when I got my K30 in 2014 I can tell you for sure regardless of any better features it may have had, I wouldn't have been spending those sort of extra sums to get going

With the KP I am not sure what the need is for the K70 to be so expensive. It's not a million miles away from the K30 anyway, so not sure why it's suddenly jumped away from the other entry level cameras from the competitors price wise

Really like the 2nd set too and the intentional over exposure in a lot of places.

Again, doing something different isn't it...

That first set is my kind of thing in terms of subject

If you're going to go heavy on the processing, make it worthwhile I always think, and create your own clear style, that is consistent throughout, as he has done, rather than just pumping the colour and contrast as high as you can get away with.

According to this page....

https://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/SMC-S-M-C-Super-Auto-Takumar-55mm-F1.8....

.... It's the 1.8 55mm that's affected.

I've got a radioactive version and it's doing fine. No idea why some show the yellowing and others don't?!

I had a M 135 3.5 and it was a gem.

Could well be you've got a bad un.... Or it could just be you've got a much better eye than me!
